MOVEMENT:

Claire Elizabeth Barratt, Stretch & Relaxation Class:

In this class, I use a technique known as “Passive Stretching”. In this society, where the term “passive” is seen as a weakness, this may not sound immediately appealing. But it is absolutely the most effective way of releasing tension!

Based on the concept that a contracted muscle and a stretched muscle are in two completely opposite states, much of the focus in this class is on fully relaxing a muscle before it is able to go into it’s full capacity of elongation.

We move through a series of stretches, beginning with a fluid tempo and including the whole body in movement. Then we gradually decelerate into slower, deeper lengthening of specific muscle groups.

This class has a meditational quality, continuously using the breath as a tool for release.
